Miami, FL – April 16, 2013 – A night at the museum turned into dinner at the museum on Tuesday night. Real estate developer and avid art collector Jorge M. Pérez hosted an intimate dinner at the Miami Art Museum along with the museum’s director Thom Collins. The dinner was thrown in celebration of Pérez’s Frames of Reference collection of 43 works he gifted to the museum in December 2011. It’s the last exhibition in MAM’s current space before the transition to the new Herzog & de Meuron-designed space in Museum Park. MAM will actually reopen as Pérez Art Museum in honor of what is now a $40 million gift of cash and art to the museum.
